When asked how she’s planning to take back the House next year, Pelosi said, “Our three most important issues: Medicare, Medicare and Medicare.” That’s how sure she is that these free-thinkin’ young Democrats, on whom Obama’s counting to turn out en masse a la 2008 to push him over the top in swing states, will in fact turn out and vote for a generational health-care subsidy to the tune of 25 cents on the dollar. And you know what? I bet they will, too. Click the second image to watch.

I never saw racial hatred in action until the first summer I visited my cousins in suburban Detroit. Compared to that, the South that I have lived in all of my life is a shining beacon on a hill regarding racial harmony, and that is the God’s truth.

Ask any of the droves who have fled to the new South for this and many other excellent reasons.

Realignment, my right eyeball. You’ve worn this meme down to a threadbare joke, cur.

No, I don’t she is ignoring you. I think perhaps she is looking in the depths of her bleeding liberal heart to truly perplex us all. We must be patient and wait for the final truth. We really are in a presence, you know.

Where it happened. I’m trying to remember who uttered this quote and where it was uttered that Barack Obama was “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.”

I’m thinking it was some guy from a deep south state, Vermont maybe, and his name was….uh….crap…help me out, I believe his name rhymes with ‘Joe Biden’.

Everything good to advance Civil Rights came out of the North. All impediments came from the South. Every Democrat KKK member unleashing the hounds on protestors was a crypto-Republican. Every Republican fighting the good fight, even the ones in the archaic, barren Southern wasteland, were crypto-Democrats.

Everyone was put into a magic pot, stirred, and voila! All of the erudite biens pensants magically ended up in areas like New York City, and certainly nowhere further South than Baltimore. All the evil racists became Republicans (which they truly always were, as they were crypto-GOP Democrats), and all the civil rights champions became Democrats.

Oh come off it. How do you account for the partisan realignment during the 60′s and 70′s that led to the solidly Republican South? Is it your position that all of the awesomely awesome civil rights-supporting conservatives spontaneously decided to moved to the South, and all of the racist liberals simultaneously decided to move North?

Many people stopping being racist. Others died off. The racists that are still around are primarily liberals now.

I am a Democrat because I hate being held to the same standards that I hold everyone else to.

I am a Democrat because I enjoy accusing my enemies of wrong-doing (regardless of evidence) in order to shield myself from any consequences when it is revealed that I am doing the same thing I accused others of.

I am a Democrat because I demand others do what I myself am unwilling to do.

In short, I am a Democrat because I am a walking, talking contradiction…a hypocrite.

I am a Democrat because I have no real-life experience, have never been out of school since I was 5, and believe everything my educational hive masters (who, as liberal union teachers, also have no real-life experience and have never been out of school since they were 5) have told me.

I’m a Freshman Television-Radio and Politics major at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY. What do I want to do with all of this educating? Not honestly sure. I have four years to figure it out, I suppose, so get back to me then.

I don’t think this is the correct analysis of the evils of Obamacare. It misdirects us from how Obamacare hurts 20 year olds. Given recent trends, 75cents worth of future health care is likely to better than a $1 worth of health care today. It all comes down to how much free enterprise and possibility for innovation is left under Obamacare. Apparently there is still a little. But if there were more free enterprise and possibility for innovation than under Obamacare, the young today would be better off, because the value for price would be even better.

crr6 is that bleached blonde at the bar in the restaurant in the muffin top jeans with too much make up making catty remarks to her friend about the other women, not relaizing they saw her when they came in and dismissed her for what she is.

That aside, as the northern states started to feel the effects of union money in politics and restrictive regulation and tax burdens started to take their toll, people who didn’t want that or lost jobs as this poor economic model started to leak jobs moved south to right to work states. They voted for those who kept taxes low who tended to be Republicans. Your grasp of history is as bad as your politics. That “southern strategy” worked so well for Nixon he won 49 states. It worked so well for Nixon, Reagan did the same thing in ’84. Democrats have been and still are the party of oppression. Everyone in their neat little box and don’t you dare get out of it. The Party will tell you what to think, who to attack and what to say.

Here allahpundit set up a great thread about how dumb college Democrats are because the policies they supposedly support screw them over (and make Bernie Madoff look like a petty thief) – they are naive and are liberals for entirely emotional and illogical reasons (like the erroneous belief that liberal policies actually help relieve suffering).

I’m a Democrat because when the idiocy of my political party with it’s adolescent philosophy and predictably juvenile supporters have been nailed, I troll conservative websites to try to change the subject.

Any kid in school is going to plead that they are a democrat thats been spoon fed from birth until the real world bites their first, paycheck, rent, utility bill, mortgage, school taxes, medical, and insurance bills. No wonder they fly back to mom and dad and live in the cellar waiting for that spoon to appear again.

I’m a conservative because I think that I can care for myself an my family better than the government.

I know Bishop is correct in his summation that no matter how reasonable an argument is, she will never accept it bcs it’s stupid & dumb & blah blah blah.
It’s really quite simple & the emboldened phrase above is not hard to understand.
It is not the govt’s job to care for citizens from the cradle to the grave with social programs that make citizens dependant & unproductive.
Rather, it is the govt’s job to work within the limits of the Const. & leave the rest to the states.
And that is all.
Happiness is not a right.
Only the pursuit of it is.
You are free to make yourself miserable, happy,rich, or poor.
And that is all.

Democrats/Liberals erroneously believe the govt can make people happy & safe by stealing from one group & giving to another.
All that does is create resentment & hopelessness & laziness.
Mankind is at his best when he is allowed to provide for himself.

Something I enjoy telling my liberal friends….MLK was a Republican, and the people blocking the doors to blacks in the South were Democrats, not Republicans. That sudden shift in perception sometimes disorients them.

Yep, turns them into blubbering fools. Bull Connor was a democratic all his life.

You guys are so full of sh*t about that, and you know it. The only way you can get away with parroting the “Republicans are the party of civil rights” line is here, and among like-minded morons.

Speaking of being full of shit…maybe you can explain why the racist Democrats would go to the party that had just overwhelmingly voted *FOR* the Civil Rights Act?

You mean like Carter in ’76? Or were you referring to Clinton in ’92 and ’96?

Your grasp of history is miserable. I pity any and all of your future clients (assuming you actually graduate, which would be a tragedy all in itself).
